Celebrate International Workers Day with JUFJ as we march and rally in solidarity with our partners and workers everywhere. Join us at 11:30 AM for CASA's national day of action to demand justice for immigrants, and at 5:00 PM for a rally supporting DC restaurant workers. Buses leave from Baltimore for the CASA rally at 9:30 AM and from Montgomery County at 10:00 AM.
Everyone who has earned paid family and medical leave should be able to use the benefits they have earned. Join JUFJ and the DC Paid Leave Campaign as we testify before the DC Council to close a loophole in the law that excludes some workers from using their benefits. You can testify in person, on Zoom, or just in writing if you can't make the hearing. If you are testifying orally, JUFJ staff will help make sure that your time slot is one that works for your schedule.
Everyone in DC should have what the Torah calls dei machsoro, resources sufficient to meet their needs. Join our Economic Justice Working Group meeting on Zoom or in person to discuss our current campaigns, and how we are working with our partners to build a DC where everyone can live and thrive.
